Age of masters


Seeing new releases using re-masters which to me means they use the original 40+ year old master and twiddle some knobs.

Do 40+ year old masters still have viable iron oxide?  Would high frequencies suffer? Or do I misunderstand re-mastering?

Anyone used pro SVHS VCR and SVHS tapes for audio only recordings, anyway ?
chakster, did you get a cassette deck ?
Not yet, but a bunch of NOS cassettes already purchased.

I think the JVC stereo VCR is what you need @inna
